La Petite Robe Noir is very intense, sensual,gourmand scent.
This fragrance is created to resemble,the delicious traditional french Raspberry and Rose Macaroon.
It opens with a blast of fresh juicy lemon and bittersweet liquorice and later mellows down into powdery,almond and green tea scent with a hint of musk and vanilla.
La Petite Robe Noir is bold,sassy and glamourous perfume for fun night out,paired,of course, with little black dress and strappy heels.
Highly enjoyable and an worthy addition to every Guerlain fan's wardrobe.

Can smell the licorice right off the top. I think the lemon and almonds are very subtle. The smoked tea & musk emerged more with the dry down. I really do like the tartness of the lemon in this stage. I can't say I smell too much vanilla. Strangely, on one wrist the "cherry" note as described by another reviewer seems there while on the other wrist, the lemon is much more dominate. Nice fragrance but I'm not wowed as much as I thought I'd be.

Ok, I really enjoyed this gourmand and am honestly surprised to read how others didn't like it. I do agree, though, that as a gourmand goes, it doesn't compare to Gourmand Coquin. Every single bottle in the Elixirs Charnels series is mouthwateringly delicious with Coquin taking top prize.

The bottle is absolutely gorgeous, very deep, dark and mysterious just like the perfume. It almost looks (and smells) a little witchy! The licorice and lemon notes really pop and the vanilla dry down is not an obvious one, which some Guerlain lovers miss. I can find no cherry notes listed but I can easily see how someone would mistakenly think the fruity notes are cherry. I think this is an excellent choice of fragrance for bewitching someone!

If you are into gourmands and are interested in trying Guerlain, you must try these three: Moscou, Gourmand Coquin and La Petite Robe Noir. I would also highly recommend Plus Que Jamais and Mon Precieux Nectar to sample.

It's all personal taste, but it's a fantastic creation!

It reminds me about my childhood.


What gourmand means for someone, can be something completely different then what it means to someone else... .

La Petite Robe Noir, is due to his ingrediënts really gourmand, no doubt about it.

I waited for several months before this fragrance finally became available for testing in the Guerlain boutique near me. My expectations were high, and my prolonged anticipation and the fact that the scent was always sold out whenever I visited, led me to believe that it was going to be amazing.

I wasn't blown away when the SA finally sprayed it on my wrist, nor was I truly disappointed. It is, as described, a fruity gourmand and it's very smooth, very cheerful, but not very Guerlain.

This fragrance lacks in the vanilla drydown that Guerlain is so famous for and, at least on my skin, it lasted only for a couple of hours before fading away.

The bottle is lovely and this scent may be original and rare enough to justify the steep price tag; nonetheless, I came to the boutique for a gourmand and what I left with was Elixir Charnel Gourmand Coquin - so much more original and seductive and well, gourmand!

La Petite Robe Noir would be a great gift for a high school graduation or a sweet-sixteen birthday. It is very youthful and happy and fruity. The cherry and almond accords are smooth and more grown-up than expected, and the tea lends a smokiness to the feel of the perfume. Yet, I can't picture a sophisticated woman past the age of twenty-five wearing this scent. I imagine fans of Delices de Cartier will appreciate this one but if you're seeking out a gourmand and fruity scents aren't your forte, pass this one up and take a look at the Charnel Elixir line, or perhaps try Iris Ganache.
